Former Kentucky Commerce Secretary Bruce Lunsford is actually leading McConnell 49 to 44 in the latest Rasmussen polls.
So how is this possible when McConnell has a favorability rating of 52% in his own state?
Two words: Bush and economy:
While McConnell will try to make Obama a part of Lunsford’s name, Lunsford will emphasize McConnell’s ties [...]

This in line with most predictions, but one has to think that Obama would have liked to have closed the gap somewhat.
Her are the final numbers:
Popular Vote
Clinton - 459,145
Obama - 209,771
Pledged Delegates
Clinton - 37
Obama - 14
If I can find any demographic info, I’ll post those metrics soon.

Because I won’t be able to do nearly as good as job as them.

As soon as the polls closed, the nets called it for her.
In fact, ABC currently has the spread 57 to 40, but it’s going to be bigger than that. Already one county is reporting 91 to 5 in her favor.
More as it develops…although there’s probably not a lot more to say.

I’ll be covering this tonight, but I can give you a good preview of the results…
Clinton will win big in Kentucky, possibly by 30 to 35 points.
Obama will win big in Oregon, possibly by 10 to 15 points.
So that’s the common wisdom right now.
Will the voters surprise us?
Tune in tonight!

A smart move on the Illinois senator’s part.

At the heart of the bid to steer reporters from the he-will-declare-victory narrative is a recognition that Clinton, who trails by a historically small margin, claims millions of supporters who don’t want her unceremoniously pushed out of the race. And the Democratic party views its chances in [...]

Polls indicate that Hillary Clinton is headed for landslide victories in Kentucky’s and West Virginia’s primaries. She leads by 29 and 34 points respectively. Unfortunately for Clinton, this is what’s known as too little, too late.
Still, the Barack Obama campaign has to be concerned that the Illinois Senator is still underperforming in states with high [...]

It’s a massive lead that shows no signs of changing.
The details…
In a Democratic Primary in Kentucky today, 04/29/08, three weeks until votes are counted, Hillary Clinton decisively defeats Barack Obama, 63% to 27%.
In three SurveyUSA tracking polls over the past 30 days, there is no movement in the contest.
Obama gains a little bit [...]

And Clinton’s gains in Pennsylvania continue to dwindle.
First, a key endorsement from Kentucky congressman Ben Chandler…
Chandler will announce his support for Obama at a midday news conference in downtown Louisville. Chandler represents a central Kentucky district and carries one of the most famous names in Kentucky politics.
The endorsement means Obama will have the backing of [...]

I am very anti-death penalty because any system that puts innocent people to death is simply broken and unethical.
However…if states feel they absolutely must have it, I think lethal injection is the most humane way to kill people…and the highest court in the land overwhelmingly agrees.
From NY Times:
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Wednesday [...]

This is one of the first polls we’ve seen out of this state so far, but it bodes well for the Clinton camp.
From SurveyUSA:
In a Democratic Primary in Kentucky today, 03/31/08, 7 weeks till the votes are counted, Hillary Clinton defeats Barack Obama 58% to 29%, according to a SurveyUSA poll conducted for WHAS-TV Louisville [...]
